Note:
See the 'Spatial Analyst Functional Reference' for information on how to use each supported Spatial Analyst function. This Functional Reference is available in ArcGIS 8.2, via the online Desktop Help system (open the Spatial Analyst book in the table of contents and click the link 'Spatial Analyst Functional Reference'). To access the Functional Reference from the Raster Calculator click the 'About Building Expressions' button on the Raster Calculator then click 'Functional Reference for Spatial Analyst Functions.' Click 'Map Algebra syntax' within a topic to access information on usage, parameters and examples.

Note:
With ArcGIS 8.2, to obtain usage information for Spatial Analyst functions, type the function into the Raster Calculator, select it, right-click and click Usage.

Note:
In ArcGIS pre-8.2, with Workstation installed, information on these functions is available in ArcDoc.
